Adventures of the Hubster & Wifester – 2008*
As it’s the last day of December I thought I’d end the month by posting this year’s Christmas letter–slightly altered to make it "blog friendly". :) Enjoy!! Adventures of the Hubster & Wifester* 2008 Edition Since our last letter there is much that is new, And we’re very excited to share it with you! So, let’s start with the Hubs this year, For he has been busy—there’s so much to hear! The Hubster has been working on projects galore, Designing courses for professors and so much more! He is finally in his last year at Hippe U, His four years of school are nearly through. It’s been a long road…

An Explosion of Clothes*
Holy mother of pearl. The Hubster and I got home from our Christmas vacation / traveling to see our families this afternoon, and since we walked in the door until now I have been cleaning non-stop. I haven’t even had time to read my lovely little Amish books. *sigh* Christmas was a little, well, bigger for us this year as the Hubster and I did a lot of shopping. As he is beginning to apply for full-time jobs in a few weeks, and I start teaching every day for 10 weeks in February, we both decided it was time to trade in our jeans for some professional wear. We went…

Addicted to the Amish*
I haven’t been writing… …because I have been reading! Non-stop. I have not been this addicted to a series since my Pillars of the Earth spree a while back. My mother-in-law surprised me with a massive bag of books to read when we visited at Christmas! Over the past several weeks she has delved into and become addicted to reading novels about Amish communities. I have to admit–when she told me she had a bag of “Amish” books for me to read I wasn’t overly thrilled to crack them open. But as the Hubster’s house is much quieter than my family’s, (and as I flew through the two Shopaholic books…

How Facebook Opened my Eyes to the Reality of Parenting*
I’ve reached a point in my life when people I know are having children. Actually, scratch that. Not just “people I know”, lots of people I know are having children and I see it every day on Facebook. Just yesterday another girl I knew in high school announced over Facebook that she was pregnant with her first child–and that makes it somewhere between the 15th – 20th pregnancy announcement I’ve seen over Facebook over the past 6 months. I’m positive that if I opened my Facebook “home page” right now I would see either a status update regarding a pregnancy, a congratulations on a pregnancy, or the ever-classic month by…

I Bet’cha Didn’t Know That…
I really liked this and so I borrowed it from one of my favourite blogs, Soaking up the Sun, and changed all the answers!! Enjoy! Things you may not know about me: 1) I have an “x-men” toe. I think the tendons for my big and middle toe are somehow connected and so they bend together. It’s pretty funny, and the Hubster likes to sing the x-men theme to me when I do it. 2) I LOVE cheesy old dance music. I still love Spice Girls, Aqua, Prozzak, Venga Boys, Run DMC and Dance Mix ’95. Every song has a memory attached to it and they make me laugh. 3)…
